Autism Awareness and Fostering Relationships with Local Law Enforcement | Autism Weekly #4

This week we welcome Joey Hannah from the Utah Parent Center as well as Dianna Davis-Wilson who is the Chief Executive Advisor and Behavior Analyst at Aspen Behavioral to discuss how to spread Autism awareness and foster relationships between Law Enforcement and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. 

Today’s conversation regarding autism and first responders could not have been more timely. Education, awareness, and communication are critically important in emergency situations involving children with Autism.

We need to promote autism awareness so that we can all be the best neighbors, public servants, parents, and advocates that we can be. It’s important that we all educate ourselves so that we can be better and do better. The lack of preparation and education can lead to challenges and results that are traumatic and unacceptable.
